Petition filed in court against Modi’s Pakistan visit
India wants peace and is putting efforts for it too.
Both the nations have fought four wars since their independence from Britain in August 1947, including a limited war on the heights of Kargil in Kashmir. Dramas have been enacted like terror operations in the name of “talks” and dramas can not produce credible results.
Major American newspapers continue to welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Dec 25 visit to Pakistan, with The New York Times on Saturday saying that his meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif set a “welcome atmosphere” for the foreign secretary-level talks later this month that are aimed at resuming a stalled dialogue on critical economic and security issues. Media reported that Modi dashed to Lahore, nearly in hurry – if not the visit was arranged well in advance _ to take part in Sharif’s birthday celebration and his granddaughter’s wedding. “They think that PM is reaching out due to domestic compulsions, or as Sartaj Aziz even said publicly that India was under a lot of global pressure”, he says.
The Pathankot attack proved that either Pakistan is promoting state-sponsored terrorism against India or at least failed to stop militants infiltrating from its soil. The two leaders will also discuss regional and world situation besides subjects of mutual interest, the sources said. When nearly everyone was hoping some kind of positive progress in talks between India and Pakistan, the latter back-stabbed.
“Strongly condemn terrorist attack on Pathankot Air Force base”.
Some flexibility emerged as the foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan issued a joint statement in July 2015 the Russian city of Ufa.
The Pakistan Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) thus unleashed one of their strategic assets i.e. the JeM (Masood) to carry out the calculated high visibility target (defence installation) attack not in Jammu and Kashmir, but in Punjab. Kashmiris do not possibly think their plight would radically change by going to Pakistani side. The Pakistani impression is that India is negotiating from a position of weakness. On the other hand, India has managed to come closer to Washington, directly and through Israel. This was followed by national security advisors of India and Pakistan held a meeting away from the public gaze in Bangkok. Their economies, each with different strengths, would benefit by an opening of bilateral trade.
